This painting is inspired by Cupid and Psyche, the famous marble sculpture by Antonio Canova created between 1787 and 1793. The sculpture captures the moment when Psyche is revived by Cupid’s kiss — a powerful symbol of love, transformation, and the awakening of the soul.

The ancient story of Cupid and Psyche has long been understood as a metaphor for the trials the soul must endure in order to reach love. Through these challenges, Psyche transforms and ultimately finds union with Cupid.

The painting captures the precise moment when love arrives in the symbolic gesture of a kiss, after all trials have been overcome.

Part of the Raspberry Series, exploring themes of tenderness, emotional depth, and the quiet power of human connection.
